What exactly does the script deliver to the browser?
To be used within <img src="..."/>, the script would have to return
the image data itself, i.e. some stream of MIME type image/jpeg, for
example. Returning a link/URL to the image won't work here, as the
browser does not resolve indirections in this context.
You could dynamically create the HTML with the image link properly
interpolated in between the quotes of src="...". Or use Javascript...
